I made this last night, as I wasn’t feeling well and needed some comfort food that was also easy to digest. I found myself saying “soft and mushy” aloud as I sautéd the tomatoes. The end result was delicious, warm with spices and easy on the stomach. I made one big error, however. I had used up all my moong dal and only had masoor dal, chana dal, black “caviar” lentils, and yellow split peas to choose from. I chose the yellow split peas, even knowing they take longer to cook and taste different. I also didn’t soak the rice or the peas. Mistake after mistake. I had to cook the khichdi much longer than usual (I also don’t have a pressure cooker), but in the end, it was still very tasty and satisfying. Thank you once again for yet another fabulous recipe. It is a family staple.

Can you make this without a pressure cooker? I don’t have one, but I’m always looking for healthy lunchtime dishes to pack for my children. This would be wonderful for them (and me). Can you make it the same way in a regular pot, or do you have cook the rice and dal separately? Thank you!

Your dishes are very nice. One or two points. Please allow the seasoning to fry properly and also allow the vegetables to cook properly. Please empty the contents fully into the pan completely. You can edit the same.
